would be cool if they did indeed allow a person to do that but i doubt for emissions purposes you'll be able to do so, well hopefully Ford gets it right this time, but at the same time they've done nothing in the past to suggest they're going to do things the right way, oh well guess i'll wait and see

they might make 590 on a chip but how long will they last before they put a rod through the block because the rods look like there out of a gass engine. disaster is right i would take a cummins any day over a powerstroke these things are made out of recycled beer cans.

im sure they do because when im on a sidewalk and a stock duramax rolls up idling i can barely hear it but it said the engineers turned it off to show the magazine how loud the engine would be without it turned on then they turned it back on to show how quiet it was. it sounds like you can turn it off to me but the question is does it affect performance

He does have a point...

Either way, they sure make it sound like a good engine...
Hopefully it is.. It sounds robust and stout...hotrodding a 400hp 750ftlb diesel would be fantastic. I hope they call it a powerstroke and not a scorpion though... And give it a 6spd manual.
